"... side by side with the human race runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who guided by unknown impulses, take the lifeless mass of humanity and by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song..."

Move

As most of you already know, I did a lot of traveling in my twenties. One of the things that I did after about 7 months on the road was purchase an second-hand camcorder. My idea was simple--record as much "global" coverage as possible with the intention of editing it someday to some cool music for my children and/or grandkids to have.

Well, I haven't really got around to it yet. While I did employ my uncle to transfer all of the film to digital DVD so I could edit more easily on my Mac, the project still remains untouched.

Last night, I was wandering around the computer machine and stumbled upon a series of shorts by Rick Mereki. I was blown away. Needless to say, my own personal project looked as if it will never match the creative brilliance of this young man.

Below is one of three videos he has posted on his Vimeo page. I leave the rest to you to explore, and all I can say is--kudos to you, Mr. Mereki. Genius.

Enjoy.
